'They are a danger': Judge sets high bonds for cousins charged in shootings at Houston fast food restaurants
Houston police said they were angry over an incorrect order at Whataburger and not enough cheese on a Jack in the Box taco. A man and woman accused of terrorizing fast food workers in shootings at two Houston restaurants have been granted high bail bonds for both of them. The charges stem from an incorrect order at Whataburger and not enough cheese on a Jack in the Box taco. The judge stated that the defendants are a threat to the community and need to remain in custody pending the resolution of these cases. If they post bail, they must stay away from each other and avoid fast food restaurants. The incidents occurred on March 2 at a Whatab Burger, where a manager was shot and wounded when a woman identified as Faith Bailey returned with a man identified as Nwabuisi, who allegedly started shooting.

HOUSTON — A man and woman accused of terrorizing fast food workers in shootings at two northwest Houston restaurants probably won't be going through drive-thrus anytime soon.
In their first court appearances Tuesday morning, prosecutors asked for high bonds for both and the judge agreed. She set Nwabuisi's bond at $450,000 and Bailey's at $170,000.
"I believe that these defendants are a threat to the community, their continued actions show that they are a danger and I believe that they need to remain in custody pending the resolution of these cases,” said Harris County Assistant D.A. Jesse Pence.
If the cousins do post bail, the judge ordered them to stay away from each other and stay out of fast food restaurants.

On March 2, just before 8 p.m., Houston police responded to a shooting at the Whataburger off the West Loop and 18th Street.
A manager was shot and wounded when Nwabuisi fired 11 shots inside the restaurant, according to HPD.
According to court documents, surveillance video showed a woman identified as Faith Bailey going into the restaurant.
After getting a drink and bag of food, she leaves but returns 30 seconds later with a man, identified as Nwabuisi, who police say started shooting.
The Whataburger manager told KHOU 11 News that Bailey claimed the order she'd made through the app was incorrect and she was angry. He said the shooter fired 11 shots, hitting and wounding another manager.
Jack in the Box shooting over cheese on taco
Investigators said they used the license plate data to connect the shooting with a similar incident that happened at a Jack in the Box only a mile away at the end of January.
Security showed the same man and woman in the drive-thru, according to police.
Police said Bailey began arguing with a worker through the window because she didn't get enough cheese on her taco.
Nwabuisi pulled out his gun and stuck it into the drive-thru window and fired 10 rounds, according to court records.
